Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! She is a bit late in returning in to heat. Cats usually go back in to heat with in 1-3 weeks during mating season. If she is not pregnant it should be anytime now. If the mating season is ending it could be longer, more towards 3 months. I hope this helps!
